Barga-Lucca Medley

It's been a good few days of weather, and we have enjoyed a barbecue and a couple of walks in the countryside, as well as a bit of sunbathing.

Last week in Lucca, we saw great preparations afoot for a big show which turned out to be a Rolling Stones concert ...  As I write, Mick Jagger et al will be strutting their stuff just half an hour away on the walls of Lucca - their only Italian gig on their current tour! Apparently it was sold out in an hour or so, but a Lucca cafe had two tickets to sell us - at €250 a pop.  We resisted however, and a friend sent us these pics of the crowds massing from all over Italy ...

Waiting for the food!

The Pania della Croce with the village of Sommocolonia in the middle ground

At the little chapel at Renaio

Getting set for the Stones ...

The multitude gathers
